DI Championships: Men's Preview
Nov. 20, 2010
By Brian Hendrickson
Special to NCAA.com
Dave Smith started with small steps, scouring for underappreciated runners, scratching out small improvements at the national championships, then trying to carry each success over to the next season.
Piece by piece the Oklahoma State cross country coach built his underdog Cowboys program into a national contender, first cracking the top five at the mens Division I national championships, then unseating a national power for the conference title. It finally came together last season with Oklahoma States first national title in 55 years.
Now Smith finds his Cowboys in an unusual position as they enter Mondays NCAA mens cross country championships at Wabash Valley Family Sports Center in Terre Haute, Ind. For the first time they will arrive at the meet as members of cross countrys elite class of mens programs — a closed community for nearly 20 years.
Top-ranked Stanford will start the 12:48 p.m. race as the favorite in many minds, with dominant top-three runners and the history of four national titles, the most recent in 2003. But Oregon, champions in two of the last three years (2007, 2008) and currently ranked third in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll, could heat the competition up front, along with four-time national champion Wisconsin (most recent in 2005), which may have the best overall depth in the field.
But squeezed into that group — which has captured five of the last eight national titles — is second-ranked Oklahoma State, a program that was pleased with top-10 finishes only five years ago, but now has much bigger dreams in its eyes.
Theres coaches around the country that recognize that were doing a good job and these guys are capable of winning a championship," Smith said of the Cowboys rise to the top of the rankings. The guys that have been here obviously made the difference. Weve had some guys who took a chance to come out here. But its a known commodity now. Its not a gamble anymore. Its a reality."
Not many teams experience that reality in mens cross country.
The top programs in the sport have been so dominant for the last 26 years that contenders rarely turn over. Until this month, only five programs — Arkansas, Oregon, Colorado, Wisconsin and Stanford — held the No. 1 ranking for the last 12 years. Those schools also combined to win 23 of the last 26 national championships.
Iowa State poked its head into that group to win two national championships during that span, but the Cyclones last title came in 1994. Theyve since faded from the national scene.
Now the Cowboys are taking their shot. So far, theyre getting some traction at the top.
Oklahoma States national championship marked the first time in 16 years that one of the big five failed to hold the title trophy. And when the Cowboys were voted No. 1 in the USTFCCCA poll earlier this month, it broke the big fives 12-year stranglehold on the top position.
But getting to the top was a lengthy process.
When Smith arrived at Oklahoma State as an assistant coach in 2002, his best selling point to recruits was the Cowboys consecutive top-five finishes in the national championship during the mid-1990s. Prior to that, though, the Cowboys went 20 years without a championship-meet appearance.
Smith said top recruits would hang up when he called, so he instead targeted runners who were third choices for many top programs. Being underappreciated made those runners restless, Smith said. They worked and competed harder with a focus on consistent improvement.
We kind of sold them on the fact that they could be program changers and make a difference," Smith said. The success of some of those guys (brought) guys who are a little better. It took time."
But with each small step the Cowboys closed on the elite group.
A third-place finish in 2007 convinced Smith that his program was ready to compete for a championship. Then in 2008, the Cowboys dethroned one of the sports big five when it beat out Colorado for the Big 12 championship, snapping the Buffaloes streak of 12 consecutive conference titles. OSU has since won three straight Big 12 championships.
But the big breakthrough last year, when the Cowboys held off two-time defending champion Oregon to capture the programs second national title.
Now the talk is focused on repeating as champs — an achievement that would vault the Cowboys into a more exclusive category. Only Oregon, Stanford and Arkansas have won consecutive titles in the last 29 years.
The feeling would be just unbelievable to do it again," said junior Colby Lowe. There arent many teams that repeat, or even win one. Just to win again would be a great thing for the program."

Used to keep coffee crystals from falling into the coffee pot as it is being brewed.
After one grinds up coffee beans, he may place them in a coffee filter and place it in the coffee machine then fill it with water and turn it on and wait for it to brew. Alternatively, he could pour the methamphetamine mixture and let the filter catch the crystals, scrape them out and sell them, then add the coffee to the filter and have the kickest ass fucking pot of coffee ever brewed.

>Racing>Sub-3:30 Marathon in 2012 Goal Thread
My goal was a 3:30 at Ogden and I was successful! Actually, 3:30:46 but I round down My motivation for a 3:30 was missing my BQ by 1min 42 sec when I got a 3:46 at St George last fall. I really didn't want to have that happen again so I decided to shoot for something that would ensure a BQ. There were many times over the last few months I thought a 3:30 was a little too optimistic but with hard work and support from my running team, especially runnin-at-sixty I did it. Ogden marathon has a winter racing serious leading up to the marathon. They put on a 5K, 10K, 10 miler, half marathon, and a 30K. (all for $100!!) It is a very well organized series with great looking medals at the half and 30K. I had a PR at the half and my pace in that race and for 30K were strong indicators that I could hold the 8 min pace needed for a 3:30.Plust the races covered portions of the marathon course so I learned the route really well. I did weekly interval workouts starting in early Jan.The intervals included 6x800m or 6x1 mile repeats with 2 -3 mile warm up and cool down. The best part of the marathon was how great I felt the entire way and after. I never new 26.2 could be fun the entire way. My last mile was my fastest. I'm still on cloud nine. Truely one of the best days of my life.
It would kind of stink to get 3:30 exactly, since this thread is titled Sub-3:30.

But there isn't an exactly-3:30 group to join so some of us have to tag along with the over achievers.

Great job on your race. I also ran Ogden. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful course. I ran 3:26:11, so I wasn't to far ahead of you. I was shooting for sub 3:15 but it just wasn't there. Guess I still have something to work towards for St. George in Oct. Once again congrats on a great time.
Wow, congratulations! You must have done a great job training. I dub thee one of the over achievers.
I agree with LedLincoln's most recent comment on your run Phaedra. You ARE an over achiever!
Love the trend in your marathon PR's: Oct, 2010 4:15
Oct., 2011 3:46
May 2012 3:30
Improving by 45 minutes in 17 months is impressive!
Thanks, Troy!, What do you think happened in your race? There are so many factors. Still a great time but not what you were dreaming about. I'm doing St G in Oct as well. The heat always gets me there. I've only had really hot races there. Do you live in the SL area?
My training was not consistent enough this go around to support my goal. I ran St. George in 2009 and it was not that hot. I have talked to people who have run it the last few years and I hope it is not that hot this year. I live in Oakley, Idaho a small town in southern Idaho.
Sugarloaf marathon goal was actually 3:15. But I failed and ran a 3:34.11. I went out at 3:15 pace but it was warm, I didn't feel great and began to slow down around mile 18. By mile 20 I was jog-walking. Was really dehydrated - it took me about a 1/2 gallon of fluids after the race and about 3 hours before I could pee. Wasn't my day. If I had gone out slower and tried for 3:30 I no doubt would have done it. But I went for the BQ and wasn't in good enough shape to do it.
But I have a nice base to build on. Putting Phily on the schedule and will shoot for 3:15 again there.
3:18:16...PR by 10 minutes!
Weather turned out to be almost perfect. Everything just seemed to fall into place for me race day.
Congrats, Julie! Hard earned, well run!

AUBURN — Auburn easily had won three straight nonconference games when Winthrop came for a visit in late December.
AUBURN — Auburn had easily won three straight nonconference games when Winthrop came for a visit in late December.
The Tigers weren't too worried about that game, which they wound up losing in a lackluster performance that seemed to help spark a turnaround.
"Everybody just walked in planning what they were doing after this," center Rob Chubb said. "We were out of the mind-set of basketball.
"Winthrop was kind of a shock, so all of a sudden everybody was starting to come together."
Auburn (8-7, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) responded with a near-miss in an 81-79 loss to No. 23 Illinois in Chicago, and has since won three straight games even with No. 2 scorer Chris Denson and 3-point threat Jordan Price sidelined with foot injuries. The Tigers hadn't started 2-0 in SEC play since Cliff Ellis' 2002-03 team that won two games in the NCAA tournament.
Auburn hasn't been back in the NCAA field since then, and would need quite a surprising run through the SEC to make it this season. The Tigers have shown signs of progress lately, though.
This week will supply another measuring stick of how far Auburn has really come this season.
The Tigers visit Arkansas Wednesday night and host defending national champion Kentucky three days later.
Auburn won just nine SEC games in coach Tony Barbee's first two seasons, and didn't win two in a row last season. They have beaten Florida State, LSU and South Carolina during this span — teams with a combined 29-15 record — after trailing by one point at halftime in all three.
"It's just like all of a sudden it clicked," Chubb said. "All of the guys all of a sudden started pulling in the same direction. We had a couple of guys just kind of dazed, looking around. Then all of a sudden it just all clicked and the chemistry came together and guys started picking up what they hadn't been picking up in the past, and it's been paying off."
Barbee said signs of a turnaround didn't emerge in any game.
"It was how we were performing and how we were competing in practice," he said. "Even though we didn't get the results that we wanted out of our nonconference schedule — we were a little inconsistent — I saw how hard these guys were working in practice and how together they were.
"The older guys helping these young guys because they knew that we needed them for us to go on a little bit of a run. I knew it would come at some point. We're still not there, we've got a long ways to go."
Barbee said the biggest change has been the emergence of freshmen like Brian Greene Jr. and Shaquille Johnson. Greene, who is subbing for Denson, is only averaging 2.8 points a game but had a season-high 14 at South Carolina and is 8-for-8 shooting the past two games.
Johnson managed career-highs of 11 points and nine rebounds against LSU.
Barbee said there's no timetable for the return of Denson or Price, each out with stress fractures.
Chubb thinks their return will provide a sizable boost offensively for a team that has shot 52 percent from the floor in its first two SEC games even without them. Denson is scoring 15.2 points a game and has missed the last three. Price, who has been out for four games, has hit 53 percent of his 3-pointers.
"Once we get them back, it's going to be real trouble for other teams because they can put up points very quickly," Chubb said.
Veterans Chubb, Frankie Sullivan and Allen Payne have made sizable statistical leaps this season along with Denson.
Sullivan is the SEC's No. 2 scorer at 17.2 points a game while Chubb is collecting 9.7 points and 7.6 rebounds. Payne has nearly doubled his scoring average, from 4.3 points to 8.4 points. Now, the freshmen are chipping in more, too.
"It's a lot of different things that are starting to come together," Barbee said.

DALLAS (AP) — Hoping to shake off a week's worth of bad games, O.J. Mayo took a pass in transition and headed straight for the rim.
The resulting three-point play jolted the guard out of a shooting slump late in the first half, and he dominated the third quarter on his way to 27 points, helping Dallas celebrate Derek Fisher's Mavericks debut with a 92-77 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.
Mayo's transition bucket got the Mavs' offense running again, and he fed off the pace by hitting four 3-pointers while scoring 16 points during a 17-4 run that stretched into a 25-6 surge and erased a nine-point Detroit lead in the third quarter.
"I passed up some open shots in the second quarter, came into the locker room, said, 'Just go out there and play your game,'" said Mayo, who was 10 of 21 overall and 6 of 9 from long distance. "So I just went out there, started shooting and tried to be aggressive."
Brandon Knight led Detroit with 20 points, including 18 in the first half. But the Pistons still fell to 1-10 on the road.
Mayo, who shot 32 percent and made just one of 10 from 3-point range the previous three games, scored the first 11 Dallas points in the third quarter, including a trio of 3s punctuated by a timeout as disgusted Detroit coach Lawrence Frank stomped onto the court well before the whistle even blew.
The Mayo surge started on defense for Dallas, which held the Pistons to 20 percent shooting while outscoring them 25-11 in the third quarter.
"Well, guys, did you see the type of shots we were getting?" Frank said. "We missed 29 shots within two feet of the basket. So, the problem is, we've got the make those shots. Then the next thing is we've got to get back."
Fisher got the start a day after the 16-year veteran's first practice with the Mavs. His presence seemed to spark Darren Collison, the struggling young point guard he was brought in to help. Collison had eight assists and no turnovers.
"He enhances our situation a lot of different ways," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "He gives us more options, and his experience, you just can't substitute what that means."
Fisher's stat line was modest — two points on 1-of-8 shooting and three assists — in his first action since helping Oklahoma City reach the NBA Finals last year. But Collison looked much better. He hit a 3-pointer when the Mavericks were struggling in the first half, and assisted on dunks by Bernard James and Shawn Marion in the second half.
Collison, who missed a game with a sprained finger, said he wasn't thrilled to be coming off the bench after starting the first 14 games but would "do what I can for the team."
"The biggest stat is that we won the game and that's all I'm happy about," Collison said.
Once Mayo gave the Mavericks the lead, Vince Carter and Elton Brand made sure they held onto it. Carter hit four 3-pointers — three after halftime — for all 12 of his points, while Brand matched his season highs with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Brand had eight points in the fourth quarter, when Dallas had another 13-0 run to put the game away.
Knight scored five more points than his average just in the first half. He hit a 3-pointer that started a 9-0 run for a 38-30 Detroit lead midway through the second quarter. But he missed all six of his shots in the second half, when the Pistons shot 28 percent.
Center Greg Monroe was 4 of 17 from the field, and Dallas blocked nine shots — four by Brand and three from Chris Kaman.
"I'm not a jump shooter, so it feels even worse when shots are not falling because I know all of them are relatively close to the basket," Monroe said. "There's no excuse for that. I have to finish."
Kaman led the Mavericks with 10 points in the first half despite going to the bench with 5:54 left in the second after his third foul.
NOTES: The Mavericks play six of their next seven on the road. … Carlisle started his head coaching career with the Pistons and was there for two seasons. He was NBA Coach of the Year the first season (2001-02) and led Detroit to the Eastern Conference finals in 2003. … Mayo is the only Dallas player to start every game. A season ago, he was a reserve for all 66 games with Memphis. … Monroe and Jason Maxiell combined for 27 rebounds for Detroit.

Romantic Weekend Getaway
My boyfriend and I recently stayed at L'Auberge Del Mar, looking for a relaxing night away from home. Upon arrival at valet, the staff was very welcoming. When we got to the Front Desk, they were extremely accommodating allowing us to check-in early. The staff offered great recommendations for activities on and around the property for us to spend some quality time together. We were already off to a fantastic weekend!
The Premier Deluxe room was more than we hoped for. Having stayed in numerous hotels, one of the key features we look for is quality bedding. We were captivated by the sheer comfort of L'Auberge's plush bedding; it was truly like we were sleeping on a cloud. Situated in a prime location of the resort, our balcony overlooked the courtyard where we could either people-watch or look at the beautiful ocean. We stayed at the hotel in February and given the year-round gorgeous weather in Del Mar, we were able to enjoy the outdoors all day!
Not only is L'Auberge a coastal property, but in order to cater to guests there is a private walkway to the beach surrounded by gorgeous landscaping; a great place to take pictures.
Our dining experience in Kitchen 1540 exceeded our expectations. When we walked into Kitchen 1540 the hostess sat us in a private cabana which captured the most romantic setting. We both started off with the farmhouse salad (was amazing!) and had the beef tenderloin for our entree. This was by far the best filet I have ever tasted; cooked to perfection, it melted in our mouth. As we were celebrating a late Valentine's Day, our server brought out a complimentary chocolate peanut butter dessert that was to die for! Our experience at Kitchen 1540 was absolutely amazing.
When on a weekend getaway, your experience starts from the moment you arrive at the hotel. We had exceptional service through all ends of the resort our entire stay. We could not have chosen a better hotel for a romantic, fun weekend.
L'Auberge is the premier coastal boutique property in Southern California!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Seattle Mariners haven't had much of a problem getting runners into scoring position.
Getting them home has been a disaster.
The Mariners had nine more opportunities with runners on second and third Tuesday night against Kansas City and came up empty on each of them. That left an opening for Salvador Perez, who drove in the go-ahead run for the Royals in the eighth inning for a 4-3 victory over Seattle.
"We were able to square some balls up, put a little pressure on them. We got some hits tonight," said Seager, who hit a two-run homer to help the Mariners rally from a three-run hole. "It's just kind of the same thing. They were able to make some good pitches and get out of a couple of jams."
The Mariners are 1 for 20 with runners in scoring position the first two games of the series.
"We've been playing tight ball games and not scoring a great deal of runs," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "It's not because we don't have opportunities. We have had some opportunities. We just haven't taken advantage of them."
There was no more glaring example of that than the eighth inning Tuesday night.
The Mariners put runners on second and third with one out when Mike Zunino stepped to the plate to face Royals reliever Luke Hochevar (4-2). Zunino promptly struck out, and then Endy Chavez hit a fly ball to center that allowed Kansas City to escape the jam.
"He came in a huge situation for us and did exactly what he needed to do," said the Royals' Mike Moustakas, who scored the go-ahead run. "That guy saved the game for us."
Billy Butler had just grounded into a double play against Seattle reliever Yoervis Medina (4-4) when Moustakas legged out a double to center in the eighth. Perez followed with a single to left, and Moustakas had just enough time for a headfirst slide ahead of Chavez's throw to home.
Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his 31st straight save and 38th on the year.
Perez also homered and finished with three hits, and Alex Gordon added a homer for the Royals, who have won three straight and eight of their last 10 to climb back into playoff contention.
The Royals (72-66), who began the day 4½ games back in the AL wild-card race, have already matched their win total from last season. They haven't had more than 72 wins since the 2008 season.
"That's all nice, but we have a long way to go," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "There's no sitting back and patting your back at 72 wins right now. We want to continue pushing, continue playing with confidence the way we are right now, keep winning a bunch more games."
The Royals took the lead on the first pitch of the game, which Gordon sent sailing over the outfield wall for the 12th leadoff homer of his career. The shot broke a tie with David DeJesus and Willie Wilson for the most leadoff home runs in franchise history.
Perez made it 2-0 with his solo shot in the fourth inning, and the Royals manufactured another run in the fifth when Billy Butler hit an RBI grounder through the left side.
That was all Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez allowed in 6 1-3 innings. After getting recalled from Triple-A Tacoma, Ramirez scattered seven hits and three walks while striking out three.
After Seager's two-run homer in the sixth, Seattle tied the game in the seventh. Kelvin Herrera gave up a pair of singles, and Brad Miller's groundout off relief pitcher Tim Collins knotted it up.
Then Hochevar's great escape — and another missed opportunity for Seattle.
"If you keep getting guys on base, you're going to eventually going to get some hits there," Seager said. "You get pitched a little differently with runners in scoring position. If we keep getting guys in scoring position, we'll break through and score some runs."
Notes: The Mariners added LHP James Paxton, RHP Chance Ruffin, RHP Hector Noesi and INF Carlos Triunfel from Triple-A Tacoma before the game. They also added Triple-A hitting coach Howard Johnson to the staff. … The Royals added RHPs Wade Davis and Louis Coleman from Class-A Wilmington, and LHP Donnie Joseph and INFs Johnny Giavotella, Pedro Ciriaco and Carlos Pena from Triple-A Omaha before the game. … RHP Taijuan Walker starts for the Mariners on Wednesday. RHP Ervin Santana goes for KC.

"[Bleepin'] 49ers!"
According to Dana Carvey in 1995, yelling that phrase was the surest way to get immediate verbal support among a crowd of strangers in San Francisco. It's San Fran's version of a Chicagoan breaking out the Super Fans voice in the middle of a bar for a spirited and guttural "Daaaaaa Bearss!" You can pretty much guarantee at least three people sitting near you will break away from their conversations just long enough to drop their own "Bearss. Bearss." It's a reflex.

Sabres notebook: Adam glad to be back
PITTSBURGH – Tuesday morning, Kevin Porter said he really needed to start scoring. At night, he found the net twice to give the Buffalo Sabres a significant victory.
Porter, who failed to score in his opening 19 games with the Sabres, had a pair of goals against Pittsburgh to key a 4-1 victory. The emphatic win snapped the Penguins' 15-game winning streak.
"They obviously were playing really well, so to come into their building and take two points is huge," Porter said in CONSOL Energy Center.
The center opened the scoring with a short-handed goal midway through the first period. His second goal, with 3:28 gone in the second, gave the Sabres their 4-1 lead. It was important because the Sabres have struggled to hold two-goal advantages.
"I was happy to get one, and the second one was a little extra," Porter said. "I was trying not to think about it, but after that many games you finally want to get one. I thought I was playing well, but you definitely want to chip in offensively. It's nice to help out the team a little bit."
"I'm real happy for Kevin," coach Ron Rolston said. "Ever since he's been up, he's played his heart out. He competes every night for us. He does a lot of things.
"For him to come out and have the offensive game he did, that was pretty special."
Luke Adam's demotion to the minors last season lingered in his mind a long time. He thought about it during the final three months of the season. He pondered it during the summer. He contemplated it for the opening five months this season.
Finally, within the past two months, the Sabres' prospect stopped thinking about getting back to Buffalo and focused on playing for Rochester. It helped because Adam was back in a Buffalo uniform.
Adam's long wait for another NHL opportunity ended against the Penguins. It was his first game for Buffalo since Feb. 8, 2012, when a decent rookie season turned into what was beginning to look like a permanent demotion.
"I don't know if I would have thought it would have took this long, but I guess patience paid off," Adam said. "I'm happy to be back and excited."
Adam attempted four shots during his team-low 9:36 of ice time.
Adam had 10 goals and 20 points in 52 games last season – including four goals and 11 points in the opening 11 games – but he fell out of favor with former coach Lindy Ruff because of his defensive play and got sent down to the Amerks. He stayed there while players such as Porter, Brian Flynn, Marcus Foligno and Corey Tropp came up.
Adam wondered whether his NHL time in the organization had passed him by.
"It's always in the back of your mind, but I think I was thinking about it too much, and that's what got me in trouble," Adam said. "The last month and a half, two months I've completely even wiped the idea away and just been focusing on my game down there. I think it's come a long way in that time, and my confidence is back to where it was.
"I feel like I'm starting to control games and control the puck a lot more. It's a good feeling."
Adam had 14 goals and 32 points in 64 games with Rochester. He was also minus-12, but the 22-year-old said he's improved since his first stay in Buffalo.
"I think I'm just more mature as a player on both ends of the rink," Adam said. "I know my points haven't really been there, as high I'd like or as high as they used to be, but I'm getting opportunities and playing well defensively. There's been some tough breaks, but that's hockey. That's the game. Like I said, I'm excited to be back here."
The Sabres are getting accustomed to saying goodbye to veteran defensemen. Buffalo traded Jordan Leopold to St. Louis on Saturday, and it followed up by shipping Robyn Regehr to Los Angeles on Monday.
The Sabres summoned Adam Pardy from Rochester to take Regehr's roster spot. Forwards Thomas Vanek and Ville Leino missed the game with upper-body injuries.
"Obviously, Robyn is a big part of the team," captain Jason Pominville said. "He plays a lot of minutes. He's a beast to play against. He was a great teammate, a great leader on this team. It was really tough to see him go. … He's going to be missed."

I'm trying to locate true e-85 or better yet, e-98. The e-85 sold here in the Springfield area is now e-70 year round. Any ideas were I can find the real stuff?
Re: ethanol
Chem Supply for 100% ethanol, make sure you just don't say "I'm using it for fuel"
Re: ethanol
Westgate gas station in Waynesville or there are a couple of places in Jefferson City. We are being bamboozled in the Springfield area with that 70% junk.
Re: ethanol
Bamboozled, thats a nice way to put it. At the least, they need to change there signs to read e-70.
Re: ethanol
Is Chem supply in Springfield?
Re: ethanol
Yes and when I said race car fuel they referred me t another chemical supply house but I don't remember the name. If you want a certain percentage blend I would probably get 55 gallon of pure ethanol and 55 gallons of e70 and mix them my self in 5 gallon jugs.
Re: ethanol
I have some 98% that I would sell some of . Phone # 417-554-1500

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life.

From PPAC: Parkinson's Isn't Newsworthy … Until It Personally Touches You
By Peggy Willocks, member, PDF People with Parkinson's Advisory Council April is Parkinson's Awareness Month. And it won't be newsworthy that I came all the way from Tennessee to New York to participate in this past Saturday's Parkinson's Unity Walk, where about 10,000 people with Parkinson's, friends and family "walked" through Central Park as a symbolic gesture to raise funding for research.

Model Chrissy Teigen has given lusty fans a final glimpse at her curves before she becomes Mrs. John Legend by posing naked for GQ magazine.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition stunner, 27, has bared all for the publication's July issue.
In one surefire classic shot, she leans seductively against a wall, her arms crossed over her chest, wearing nothing but a pair of designer heels.
Teigen also used the accompanying interview to reveal her own mom took the recent cellphone shot of the model getting spray-tanned while nude, which caused a controversy online – the saucy snap was banned from Instagram for violating the image-sharing website's user guidelines.
She says, "What no one knows is that my mom took it! My mom frickin' threw me under the bus!"

personal information. she has advanced directives, medical records, and so on that is not accessible to everybody in the network, but some of the members. there are stories and photos, a place where people can celebrate today, how to share memories, have the good times that were the essence in the past and in the present. you might be asking yourself this question, if you are a facebook user, how is different from facebook. it is what we called open social networking, and it is designed to create many relationships. this is closed and personal, it is an intimate space.
12:01 pm
i have a daughter that was close to 1000 facebook friends. it has no advertisements. no data mining, it is private and secure. it bridges the formal and informal world of care and support. and what we have discovered is that people that use a, what they get out of that is what we call the network of fact. we have jill in the center of the network and you can see on the upper side where you have a health care provider to put information into her fault about her health care. if you have heard daughter using the mobile application to update people on the go. you have the neighbor that tax the schedule to see when he is going shopping -- this is an
12:02 pm
illustration of a network of fact or network model of the good life. the neighbor says, always check on line to see what joe needs. the physician's assistant says it is easy to share the test results. the personal care worker says i've posted on the loose handrail and they handled it right away. her sister says, i am part of a team now, what a relief. out of this idea of the network of fact, one is that this is what joe wants. this is her key to a good life. her network is actually her gateway to a good life and her ability to stay home.
12:03 pm
and we will launch a touch screen interface for those that want to connect through video. i want to share with you a few things that users are saying at telling us about their experience. 91% says that it helps them share information. that is the number one thing that people providing support to us want. 80% says that it strengthens connections. how can using something on-line actually make us feel closer or more connected to our friends and family? out it works, the more connected the leafy zero with the more information we have. if any of you have grandchildren living far away, if they know that you have recently been to the theater or play cards with friends or had a
12:04 pm
family dinner, they feel more connected to you and telling the you have been to the doctor and all of those things. this is the way that technology can help people) distant connect with us. 75% of our users say that we work with others to provide care and support. today, ties is three years old, and we have learned a lot about lessons with the good life. our number-one lesson is that no one should have to face thelma's, disability, or caregiving on their own. there are growing numbers -- why we did pay attention to this, constantly reaching out in creating our own networks, keeping them informed is one major reason, there are more and
12:05 pm
more of us living alone. 40% of people over 60 live alone. we are more vulnerable in terms of how we are living and we are more vulnerable because those of us are living with chronic and complex diseases. that can lead and capacity to it is a very positive thing to do. what we might think of as our desire is for the company and so on, our health is a social affair. our health is intimately tied with our connections and support. when we have a good network around us, we heal more quickly, we live longer. and when we are isolated, it impacts things like hospital rea admissions, the number of
12:06 pm
doctors' visits, the capacity to handle stress. what we want to really focus on in terms of the number-one lesson is that no one should have to face these things alone. and when we consciously reached out to create a network, we are better off. let's think about the people that want to be involved in our life. this is really our loved ones, sons, daughters, her friends. what do they want? since we are facing challenges, they want information that they want to share and care. they definitely want to be involved. there is no question that our family members and friends want to be involved. and some of the challenges that
12:07 pm
they are facing is that many of the people that might be providing care for us are working. the number of working care givers has tripled in the last 15 years. and what they need to be able to share is to be able to share the care. the caregivers, the people that love us, our sons and daughters and family members, if they are caring for us alone, their health deteriorates. they often have to leave their jobs and take a reduction in tom. -- in income. and how important this is in terms of our thinking about the future and creating a connected network is that fully, for 80% of people that live in their own home and receiving care, this is not by the way, what most of us
12:08 pm
want. to live and stay in our homes and in our own space. but for people that received in home support of some kind, and they would not be able to remain in their home without the involvement of friends and family. the critical reason to be thinking about what our loved ones want. they want to be engaged and our job is to support them to do that. what about the young ones? what does the future want? not just the young ones, but all the people cheering for us in the future want to use technology. 77 percent said it will save them time, 74% believe it will relieve stress. and there is a generation coming up that will expect to be kept
12:09 pm
informed and make connections on line. my nephew just sent me a video from vancouver having a skype conversation with his cousins in england. and as our last lesson, we want to help each other. i want to reinforce this. a part of the reluctance is this fear that people are going to say no. the recent community vitality report says that three-quarters of us extend to a family, friends, and neighbors. this man's name is charles, 86 years old. he has an early stage of dementia. he starts the network, he invites the sisters. why in sydney and one in singapore. he also invites the neighbors.
12:10 pm
they refer to it as the neighbor lady. she says, thank goodness that you ask. i have been worried about charles. and creating that meaningful exchange. let me share a new idea or a new term that i am using thinking about this idea of staying connected and having a good life. this is an idea that i am calling -- this is a little picture of dale, somebody that has a f and hisuture -- that has done his future-proofing.
12:11 pm
this is what has happened to him when he went into the hospital. his daughter of everyone with one message. there was emergency contact, care preferences hall facing the vault so that the care providers know what to do. and the supporters know what his wishes are and they can share tips and ideas and emotional support to him. dale is future-proofed. pieces of this idea staying connected to a good life is about having some peace of mind as we think about the future. i encourage you all about what makes a good life for you. i encourage you to reach out to others to make it happen. it won't happen in isolation, there is no independence without
12:12 pm
tinterdependence. when we reach out to others, everyone benefits. reaching out and making connections for a good life provide peace of mind for you, but for every one that loves you as well. if there is one final message i would like to leave you with, it is that we are, quite simply, better together. if any of you are interested in learning a little bit more and seeing a live demonstration, i will be over in the south court this afternoon and in the lunch break. i would be delighted to chat with you. in the meantime, thank you so much. [applause] >> oh, come on. give vicki camack a bigger hand
12:13 pm

[applause] that's vicki. whoa. thank you, vicki. honestly, vicki, i like that ties network, just the idea of all the connections. a personal and isolated in formation, thank you very much. there is a gentleman i will bring up and get out of the way, i wanted to mention something about the news business and technology. hopefully you watched television. our business is changing by the day, we depend on technology. i would feel naked without my phone. i would feel naked without my ipad. even when i am on television, i am talking by e-mail with people just like you. if dave, do you know about this event? this is what is happening here at this time, often we get to do
12:14 pm
with it because we heard it straight from you. through e-mail. you might say, i don't have your e-mail address, how to live by you? you can go to our web site and you can find it there. our business has changed so much because of self bones. you are at the place where something is happening. if you without a phone and take a picture, with your permission, you get there before we get there. there was a big crash write in the heart of the financial district. we heard about it, but there was so much traffic, we could not get there. my colleague said that if anybody can see this, take a picture and send it to us. there is a man on the twenty
12:15 pm
fourth floor looking out the window with his camera. took a picture, looked at it, send it to us, we had it on the air and a couple of minutes. because of technology, because of things changing so rapidly. it is a brand new world. vicki, thank you for the importance of that network and everything else. thank you. next, i want to introduce you to a gentleman. he is tall, dark, handsome. sorry, that was me. wrong script. [laughter] you, too, right? it's your birthday, right? ok. in all seriousness, a gentleman by the name of dmitri is here. i want you to meet him. his name is dmitri belzer.
12:16 pm
he has worked in the disability community for years providing technology access for more than 30 years. trained as a sign language expert and interpreter, he established a death services program ast san francisco state university, provided support services for colleges. we don't call them disabled. they happen to have a disability. he joined pacific bell, helped organize honda the advisory group for people that happen to have a disability. he gave them put to that company on how to develop features that will help them do better. he became the director of death and disabled services. he was executive director for berkeley in 2001.
12:17 pm

[applause]
12:18 pm
>> thank you, dave. i just decided who will be giving this speech that my memorial service, that is a great introduction. i want to talk to them about how people with disabilities use computers. the first and want to talk about is my family. i come from a family of eastern european immigrants. they were mostly born in europe, all of my grandparents were born there. when my grandparents came here, they were older people. english was not something they were very interested in. my grandparents spoke russian, romanian, yiddish, and german. a sixth language? no way. they learned english, but they were never comfortable with it and they forgot it as soon as
12:19 pm
they could. my parents didn't speak english either, but they were going to live their lives in this country so they've learned it. they always spoken with a heavy accent and was something that was always a struggle for them. as they got older, they didn't want to do it anymore. my father spoke his last words in yiddish. we are born here, my native english speakers. i think you can mostly understand me. what i think about technology, i see a parallel and my family because i think about my parents, my parents have really become my grandparents' generation. if technology is something they did not want to learn.
12:20 pm
boy, would she like to forget it. she hates technology. we have really become a skilled computer users because we have had to. it is something we have had to learn, and we speak technology with an accent. we don't really know it intuitively. i looked at my kids, they are native speakers. they use it, it is intuitive. it is an intuitive feeling that they have that most of us don't. we think about this issue a lot because when you are working with people with disabilities and people with different kinds of stresses, you have to adjust your thinking to who you're talking to and who you are working with. or work is shaped by to beliefs. the first is that we had no reason to talk about this ability with technology.
12:21 pm
disabilities' exist because of the -- i don't ask the client what their disability is because it is irrelevant. what do you want to deal on a computer? the print is too small, we can fix that. the mouse or the keyboard is too difficult, try this. try speech input, we will try different things to get the technology to work. the technology is what creates a disability. the other believe that we have is that it is important to step back from what we know at listen to our clients. has to stop putting our beliefs on them. we have to look at where people are coming from with technology. and figure out what the issues
12:22 pm
are that they are having. the big question that we often asked is, when someone is struggling, is that a disability issue or a learning curve issue? we find that the disability issues are the easy fixes. the small print, hard to use a mouse, all of that is very easy to fix. the learning curve issues are really the hard ones for most people. most seniors and don't have a tool box of strategies for dealing with technology. we were more able to figure things out. i may not know where the downloads folder is, but i know it exists. i might have trouble finding it, but i know it is there. for someone that doesn't speak technology as well as i do, they don't know how to look for it.
12:23 pm
if you are someone i have an analogy for you. how many people here can drive? you will be happy to know i do not. for all of you who drive, have you rented cars? when you rent a car, you get into a car you are unfamiliar with. how did you drive it? you do not know where everything is. you do not know where the high beam indicator is or where the turn signals are or any of those kind of things, but you know they are there. you have the language to drive that car because you know what to look for. you know every car has turn signals, so you are going to look for it. when my parents bought their first car that had a locking gas cap, it had a door over the gas cap. they went to get gas, and they could not open it. it was because the release for it was by the driver's seat, and it never occurred to them.
12:24 pm
it was just not a place they would look. they look for the key, for the lever. my father reached into the glove compartment, pulled out a screwdriver, and broke the lock to put gas in the car. an experienced computer user is going to know if they are having trouble, they will go to the control panel and look for what is there, but someone who does not know what a control panel is -- they have no language to ask for it. another issue we find with a lot of seniors in particular is a high level of frustration with technology. i talked to my mother about this all the time. my mother hates technology, and she has had to learn so much. i had a conversation with her the other day, and she was naming all the things she has had to learn, all the things she owns, all the things she hates. things like her dvd player, her vcr, or microwave, herself
12:25 pm
phone, her cordless phone -- there are so many things she has had to learn. in the senior center where she lives, she said the most commonly used assisted technology is a two-inch-long piece of black ls will take, used to cover the flashing light on the vcr and the dvd player -- black electrical tape. she says it is easier the learning to program the clock. for the most part, a lot of seniors to not trust technology. people have gotten the word that there are risks to using technology, and a lot of seniors want to stay away from it. as much as i want to get my mother to do online banking and paying her bills, never going to happen. she is never going to do that. at the center for accessible technology, we work to understand the mindset of our clients, and as a result, we have systems in place of how we work with them. one of the things we do is we
12:26 pm
asked people -- what do you want to use a computer for? i cannot tell you how many people tell us they have never been asked that. they have been told they need to use a computer, but no one has told the what they need it for. sometimes we hear that people do not have anything they want to use it for, but a lot of times, they have something in particular. we tried to focus on something that will give them early success. so they are going to be able to have some success with the computer. if someone wants to be able to e-mail their grandchildren so they can get pictures of their grandkids, they will be motivated to push past their technology fear for that. at least i keep telling my mother that. but we also have to recognize that one of the things that happens is people come in who have been using technology, and they have their own systems for use in it, and we let them. we do not try to change how
12:27 pm
people are using it. an example of that is my grandmother. she was a wonderful baker. i miss her, but i miss her baked goods more. she never had used a still in the old country that had thermostat. she would turn the stove on all the way to broil, and it would heat up like a furnace, and then she would turn it off, and then put her stuff in and cook it. if it got too cold, she would turn it on again. it drove my parents crazy, but she made wonderful food. she was never going to learn this technology, but she had adapted to it. we recognize that people do that. if people have something that works, you leave it alone. another issue that people have on computers is -- and it is a real frustration for a lot of seniors -- that things do not show up in the same place. we try to set up people's computers so that it is recognizable. if you are using a macintosh,
12:28 pm
and it has the dock that has all the controls on it, you set it up so that it is always visible. you put the icons in place so they will always show up, so they are always recognizable. i gave my mother recently and ipad, and it is a brilliant piece of technology for seniors because it only has one button on the front of it. if you do not know what to do, you press that and go back to the home screen and start over. she really loves that. another important piece is ergonomics. people forget this a lot, but ergonomics is hugely important. a real reason why people stop using computers is because they say they heard. if you did not set up some computer system so they can use it ergonomically, i will -- it will heighten the chances for their failure. we tell people it is okay to ask questions peer the problem with that is one to tell someone it is ok to ask questions, you then have to make it okay to ask questions.
12:29 pm
when my mother asked me for the 312th time, "how do i attach a picture to an e-mail?" i have to stop myself from going, like -- and it is difficult sometimes. they'll say the same things over again, but it is an important part of technological success. in preparing for this speech, i thought about how a lot of people here are pretty experienced technology users, but i am recognizing that most of us are, if you will pardon my saying this, a little on the older side. how can i get you all to understand what it is like to use a computer for our parents and for seniors who have never done it? i have a great way. go home and find a 14-year-old boy and ask him to play a video game. i have done this with both of my sons when they were younger, and it is an amazing experience. my kids will be playing a game, which i

Accused of being homophobic, Theophilus goes toe-to-toe with a gay student.
"Are you Professor Theophilus?"
I turned. "That's me. Come in."
"My name's Lawrence. I'm gay. I came to complain about your talk about constitutional liberties yesterday. It was bigoted and homophobic. I'm filing a formal protest to the people who run the Student Union speakers series."
At least he's direct, I thought. I waved him to a seat.
"Help me out, Mr. Lawrence. How could —"
"Just Lawrence."
"Thank you. Now how could my talk have been 'bigoted and homophobic' when it didn't mention homosexuality?"
"I didn't actually hear the talk itself. I came in during Q&A."
"I see. And what did I say during Q&A?"
"You said gays have sex with animals."
I'm used to this sort of thing, so I merely observed, "I'm afraid you weren't listening carefully."
"I remember distinctly," he declared. "A girl asked your opinion of laws against discrimination on on the basis of sexual orientation, and you said gays have sex with animals."
"No, What I said was 'sexual orientation' can mean many things. Some people are 'sexually oriented' toward the opposite sex; others toward the same sex; others toward children; others toward animals; others toward cadavers. I said that I wondered where this trend will end."
"Then you admit that gays don't have sex with animals?"
"You brought that up," I reminded him. "I have no information on the point. I'm only suggesting that not all 'orientations' are morally equivalent."
He said nothing, but showed no inclination to leave. "Do you think all 'orientations' are morally equivalent?" I queried.
"I won't even dignify that question with an answer," he said. "But I know what you think of my orientation. I'm sick of you phony Christians with your filthy hypocrisy about the love of God."
"So you've heard that I'm a Christian."
"Who hasn't? The holy, the sanctimonious, the Most Excellent Professor Theophilus of Post-Everything State University — what else would he be? The whole school reeks of you, of you and the other so-called Christian so-called professors. That's why I walked in on your Q&A. I wanted to see you spit venom."
"My goodness. Have I said anything venomous?"
"It's what you're thinking that's venomous."
"I see," I smiled. "Why don't you stop being bashful, and tell me what's bothering you?"
"You must think you're funny."
"I'm serious. Tell your complaints one by one, and I'll answer them."
"You couldn't answer them. I have too many."
"Try me. I'll give short answers."
He cocked his head and peered at me. "You mean it, don't you?"
"I wouldn't say it if I didn't."
"One at a time?"
"One at a time."
"All right, here's the first. Christians are hypocrites. You're always running down gays, but what about the other things your Bible condemns, like divorce and remarriage? It's other people's sins that bother you, not your own."
I laughed. "If you'd spent any time around me, you'd know that I'm just as hard on the sins of heterosexuals as on those of homosexuals. Easy divorce is a prime example of how one bad thing leads to another — in our case the loss of the ability to make any distinctions about sexual acts at all."
Ignoring the reply, he went on to his next complaint. "You're intolerant. You reject people like me just because we're different than you."
"Me reject you?" I said. "Aren't you the one who rejects what is different than yourself? Don't you reject the challenge of the other sex?"
"I don't need the other sex. I have a committed relationship with my partner."
"Research shows that homosexuals with partners don't stop cruising, they just cruise less. When they don't think straights are listening, gay writers say the same."
"So what if it's true? There's nothing wrong with gay love anyway."
I spoke quietly. "Tell me what's loving about sex acts that cause bleeding, choking, disease and pain," I suggested. "You might start by explaining the meaning of the medical term 'Gay Bowel Syndrome,' or how people get herpes lesions on their tonsils."
"You're — how can you even say that?" he demanded. "How dare you tell me who to love?"
"I don't think I am telling you who to love."
"Oh, no? Then what are you telling me?"
"That there is nothing loving about mutual self-destruction."
"You must think my relationship with my partner is just dirt!"
"No, I respect friendship wherever I find it — your friendship with your partner included. It's just that sex doesn't make every kind of friendship better."
"Why not? Are you anti-sex or something?"
"Not at all," I said, "but would you say that sex improves the friendship of a father with his daughter?"
Seeing from his face that he didn't, I continued. "You get my point. Nor does sex improve the friendship of two men."
"That's where you're wrong. Gay sex is just as natural for some people as straight sex is for other people."
"What's 'natural'," I said, "is what unlocks our inbuilt potential instead of thwarting it. One of the purposes of marital sex is to get you outside your Self and its concerns, to achieve intimacy with someone who is Really Other."
Was he listening to any of this? "I'm sorry, Lawrence — I really am — but having sex with another man can't do that. It's too much like loving your reflection. That's what I meant before about refusing the challenge of the other sex."
I was about to go on, but abruptly he changed the subject: "It's attitudes like yours that killed Matthew Shepard."
"Surely you don't imagine that the thugs who killed Matthew Shepard were Christians, do you?" I smiled at the absurdity of the thought, but seeing that he misunderstood my smile I made my face serious and tried again.
"Lawrence, I deplore the violence that killed Matthew Shepard, and I'm glad those men were caught. But shouldn't we also grieve the urge which caused Matthew Shepard to be sexually attracted to violent strangers?"
He said only, "You hate me."
I paused to study him. Did he really believe that, or was it a smokescreen?
"I don't hate you," I said. "I love you." I paused. "I'd like to be with you forever, in heaven."
Lawrence's face displayed shock, as though he had been hit in the stomach. Then he looked confused. The expression of confusion was instantaneously replaced by an expression of anger.
For one split-second, it had looked as if the shutters were open. "God in heaven," I thought, "I need help." How could they be pried back up?
"My love isn't really the issue for you, is it?" I asked.
"What do you mean?"
"It's God's. God's love is the issue for you." For a few seconds there was no reaction.
Then it came. "You're bleeping right God's love is the issue for me," he said. "Your God's love. The lying God who says He loves man, but who hates me for loving men."
"Do you think God hates you?"
"Doesn't He?"
"What makes you say that?"
"Doesn't your Bible say that? It calls people like me an abomination."
"It calls what you do abomination. There's a difference."
"There's no difference. I do what I am."
I considered his point. "Could it be," I said, "that you want God to love you less?"
"Less!" he spat.
"Yes. Don't you know what love is?"
"Acceptance of what kills you? Consider another view: Love is a commitment of the will to the true good of the other person."
"I said love is a commitment of the will to the true good of the other person."
"I don't get what you're saying."
"Sure you do. The lover wants what's good for the beloved."
He hesitated. "I suppose."
"Good. Now think. If that's what love is, then a perfect Lover would want the perfect good of the Beloved. Do you see what that means? He would loath and detest whatever destroyed the beloved's good — no matter how much the beloved desired it."
I couldn't read the look on his face, so I plowed on. "That's what sin does — it destroys us. Yours destroys you, mine destroys me. And so the Lover doesn't 'accept' it; He hates it with an inexorable hatred. To cut the cancer out of us, He will do whatever it takes — like a surgeon. No, more than like a surgeon. If you let Him, He will even take the cancer upon Himself and die in your place."
Still inscrutable, he kept his eyes in front of him, just avoiding my own.
I asked "What happens, then, if you refuse to let go of what destroys you? What happens if you say this to the divine and perfect Lover who wants your complete and perfect good — if you say, 'I bind myself to my destruction! Accept me, and my destruction with me! I refuse to enter heaven except in the company of Death!"
Neither of us spoke.
Lawrence rose from his chair and walked out the door.

Police officer accused of attacking women during traffic stops
OKLAHOMA CITY — A police officer is accused of sexually assaulting several women while on the job, his department said.
The case started after one woman came forward and accused Oklahoma City Police officer Daniel Holtzclaw of "sexual impropriety" during a traffic stop, police Capt. Dexter Nelson told CNN.
Holtzclaw, 27, was arrested Thursday and faces nine charges, including three counts of forcible oral sodomy, two counts of indecent exposure, two counts of rape and two counts of sexual battery, according to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office.
After the first woman's complaint, investigators started looking into all of Holtzclaw's traffic stops for other potential victims, CNN affiliate KOKH said.
Nelson said authorities found six other victims. He said some of the women "were initially less than cooperative, but investigators were able to gain statements," he said.
Officials said all the alleged attacks took place during traffic stops, CNN affiliate KFOR reported.
The city's police chief said there may be more.
"We kind of anticipate there may be more victims out there because this goes back to February — February was the earliest that we have here, through June," Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty told reporters.
"If there's anyone that was victimized by this officer, we certainly want to hear from them."
It was not immediately clear whether Holtzclaw had an attorney. His bond is set at $5 million.

Leo Gordon Gekko
Those of you who only know The Hills probably don't recognise the name. But once upon a time Oliver Stone made great movies. And one of those great movies was called Wall Street. And the star of Wall Street was Gordon Gekko played by Michael Douglas.
Greed is good.
He wore his hair signature 80s styles – combslicked back flat to the head. It worked at the time.
It doesn't work on Leonardo DiCaprio. But Leo channeled Gordon Gekko on Saturday night at the The Natural Resources Defense Council's (NRDC) 20th Anniversary Celebration in Beverly Hills. Do not find this attractive. You?
For starters, I worry he's losing his hair. Combine that with his in-between-films bloaty pudge and, well, for me at least, there is no quiver. More worrisome – am now concerned that Leo won't be able to carry the quiver deep into his 30s.
Looks-wise, he may have already peaked.
It happens to all of us. It even happens to celebrities. I peaked at 21. Too early.
PS. Replace the speech with "gossip" and it also totally works!

Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???
Some of you may be aware that over the last few days Ive been attending job interviews...suffice to say the pressure and stress that has come with these high pressure situations has led to me hitting the bottle..... :) :) :) well ok not quite...but chocolate liquer truffles seemed a fitting thing to review this evening...with that I bring you todays review - Baileys Original Irish Cream Truffles.
For those of you who are unaware Baileys Irish Cream is an Irish whiskey and cream based liqueur, made in Dublin, Ireland. The trademark is currently owned by Diageo and has a declared alcohol content of 17% alcohol by volume. These truffles were around 14.0g in weight each - I consumed four in one sitting which was more than enough due to their richness. For everyones knowledge I found these in Tesco in small packs of two....£1.50 each so worth noting they are quite pricey!
The truffles came foil wrapped and inside a pretty flimsy but nice looking cardboard box. I was pretty impressed with not only the packaging but also the asthetic look of the product which as you can see above looked pretty tempting....the truffle centre in particular looked particulalry whipped and appertising. Unwrapping each tuffle from their foil packaging each truffle had a slight alochol aroma...the cocoa scent was very subtle and if anything could of done with being more forthcoming.
My main gripe with these truffles came with the chocolate. Now dont get me wrong here the chocolate tasted great...it was a mixture of non-sweetened chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate..dont ask me how this was all mixed but the end result was an incredibly rich but creamy chocolate. What was also pleasant was that some of the whisky was present in the chocolate layer which added a nice edge....so what was wrong you ask?? Well it was the portioning of the chocolate...in some truffles the chocolate coating was very thick...in others it was very thin..the inconsistancy wasnt a major thing but it should really not be something that is overlooked.
The Baileys centre...well what can I say it tasted like Baileys :) creamy with an malty alcoholic whiskey kick....im not a massive fan generally of Baileys but I think it worked here - the creamyness of the centre worked extremely well with the richness of the chocolate in what was a nice development of flavour...the two components just seemed to seamlessly transition from rich cocoa to creamy liqueur..yum. The texture of the centre was also very pleasant..it wasnt quite as light as Lindt Lindor truffles but was equally as smooth...personally I would have preferred it to be a tad lighter...it was quite dense but I can also see how hard it would have been to achieve the same creamy taste.
Overall the sole determinant of whether this product is enoyed by the consumer lies litterally in the quite obvious factor of whether they enjoy Baileys or not...the chocolate though lacking in a consistant proportioning level is of a good quality and has a nice rich cocoa taste. This is no suprise looking at the ingredients which state that it is 35% solids chocolate with cocoa butter used to create a nice smooth texture...its good stuff. The obvious dominant flavour is the Baileys liqueur which I luckily enjoyed...its was as creamy as the drink and added a nice edgy different flavour to the truffle. As I have said above my recommendation on whether you should try this product lies solely in question of whether you enjoy Baileys or not..if you do go right ahead this is a great tasting truffle...for this reason it recieves a pretty high Chocolate Mission rating.

I hit 400k credits across all of BOINC today. Go me!
I aim to hit half a million by Christmas (with leeway to the end of the year).
So who else deserves their moment of glory?
i hit 1 million on rc5-72 a few days ago (and i didnt even notice myself, lol)
and it looks like i could break into the top 1000 on ogr-25 tomorrow
EDIT: i did
Our DPAD team passed 400 million points today, with our top user God, making up almost exactly 1/3rd of that. Onwards and upwards I guess.
Time to toot my own horn again
I just made it into the top 5,000 across all of BOINC!
Toot Toot!
I just broke 250,000 across BOINC today.
That equates to ~9,800 place in overall BOINC.
My mouse has just clocked more than 4,000,000 metres for TFM
Ars Technica TeamHoneyNutLoops is up to 104. We'll be inside the top 100 in a couple of days.
I broke the 2000 level today (to 1846) with a 2nd place day. shy24 is still going as well. But I'm going to have a slowdown for tomorrow with all of the fresh SIMAP work available.
I'm good about bragging about myself, so here goes.
In a less than a year I made the top 1000 for OGR. (That's 99.15 percentile if you're into that sort of thing.) To put that another way, if I were from AnandTech I'd be in 19th (of 1,337), FDC I'd be 7th (of 68), or the project-leading Dutch Power Cows I'd be 51st (of 2,778). In other words, nearly 5 times the output of [H] and TR combined. And I'm just a little home gardener.
[and it took me less than 3 months from the time i switched to OGR ]
i should be passing 3M genodes in the next few days
And Free-DC is in 102nd, so it's double sweet
Not any more.... we're # 102 now.
(giving this thread a bump)
Just reached 250K in Tanpaku
I hadn't even heard of Tanpaku until July (thanks DC-Vault)
There's a lot of cool milestones listed in this thread! Interesting.
Pardon me while I toot my own horn
I just passed 50 million OGR-25 Gnodes!
Just passed 15,000,000 OGR-25 gnodes!
50 mil.. wow.... nice job Sheep!
Three quarters of a meeeelion in Folding. Now all I need is a quaddie with a spiffy graphics card and a new playstation and I can double that in a month, hee hee.
I hit 250K in Leiden Classical in the past 24 hours!
Looking forward to getting some more machines back on to Leiden Classical, we're getting hugely outproduced by a bunch of teams right now.
Just passed 1 million in EON.....
107,470 Gnodes on Dec 10... woohoo!!!
(this pales in comparison to what Coaster's been doing, holy crap! Awesome job, Coaster!)
One of my favorite activities: bragging about myself (trying to overcome my feelings of inadequacy)
During the d.net stats outage, I broke into the top 1000 on RC5-72, currently at 787. I also recently passed half a million blocks (at 684,225 now). MrJackson, beep-beep.
Yay Me^H^H^H^H^H^HGo Team Beef Roast!
Very nice, Sheep.
You're just leaving your spore all over the DC community.
Half a million BOINC credit!
I am the milestone. At least for Hades_au any way.
Today hit a nice even 2,222,222 BOINC cobblestones, all credited to Ars of course.
That's just 2 2 2 weird
So the Beyond on Free-DC is a different one?
Yep, I have no idea who that is, or how different users can have the same name. Kind of confusing though.
I've been Beyond since joining SETI Classic on 7/11/1999. Never crunched for anyone but Ars.
I know he/she has accounts in PrimeGrid and Eon. Probably some others.
I was hoping to celebrate earlier, but WCG being down hasn't helped - anyway, finally made it to 3 meeeelion on Boinc
From BoincStats:
Total Credit 3,003,300.87
You are the original!!!
I hit 350k credits across all of BOINC
Good for ARS
Team Prime Rib just crossed 10 million in PSP Sieve (10731644.729134). Less than 1 million to take 1st place.
Ars Technica passed 100 million across all of BOINC!
I have passed 100 million in Riesel Sieve, and Team Prime Rib is now over 200 million. If all goes well, we'll pass RechenKraft for 5th place in a week or so.
today i snuck into the top 500 on ogr
Guess which team just moved up another spot in RieselSieve?
I recently passed 1M WU in EON, and am approaching 500K blocks in RC5-72.
I'm currently the #3 overall Ars contributor in RC5-72, Eon and Pi Segment.
I just passed 3000 P90 CPU years for Prime95 and have moved into 4rth place for Team Prime Rib
OK folks, I am proudly announcing one really big milestone, i.e. it's that I am finally listed in the left graph on Free-DC - BeWeS Ars Technica Team Fried Mice Stats page (where it says "Overall Breakdown (Top 10)")
Namely, I, shirker have just passed CorTezz who was holding the 10th position for a long long time now. Oh and yeah, what happened to CorTezz anyways?? As I wrote in this post of mine in the "[TFM] Mousetracker - Perpetually rewarding your mouse with juicy stats." thread, I was expecting tough competition from his part (same as from Biggles who I've passed few weeks or month ago), but now he hasn't send any results for months.
P.S. - Maybe he is just caching them (i.e. the distance/click results of mouse movement), and so when I will already feel comfortable in the 10 place (IOW, no "roadkill" in near future), he will send the results and pass me. But well, then I will probably already pass morfie, who knows??!
It's taken me about 3 and a half months, but I've gone from just making it into the top 5,000 across all of BOINC to inside the top 4,000 across all of BOINC.
At the last daily update, according to BOINCstats.com, I'm ranked 3,999th in the world!
i just moved into the top 400 on OGR today
